A Springy Smoked Salmon Appetizer for Outdoor Entertaining

In the market for finger food? (Who isn’t?) Need a party-friendly starter course? There’s an app for that, and every Tuesday we’ll bring you one from the BA recipe archive.(Credit: Zach DeSart)

Smoked salmon on toast is a no-brainer appetizer. It’s an assembly-only dish: some toasted bread, some schmear, and some good smoked salmon. But with outdoor entertaining season (slowly) approaching, it’s time to showcase some of spring’s produce. You don’t have to ditch this easy app–just tweak it a little. This version replaces heavy cream cheese with light, tangy Greek yogurt, and tops the salty fish with wispy shaved raw asparagus. Think of it as spring accessorizing.
